Frankie Boyle is a great comedian but man he goes near the bone.

**Falik** · 11-27-2009, 04:45 AM

haha the second one is great.

**ptmQqoxw** · 11-27-2009, 04:47 AM

Um, that wasn't really offensive at all. However #2 was the funniest

**JonnLeejsp** · 11-27-2009, 05:00 AM

No. 2 was the only one that was actually funny. I didn't get no. 1.

**Vomephems** · 11-27-2009, 05:03 AM

Nah, I think he's good. He made that show, and now the BBC got rid of him, it's not the same.

Number 1 was just after R Hammond had his jet car crash and maybe wasn't entirely with it.

**fluistulkn** · 11-27-2009, 05:05 AM

hes not funny[thumbdown]

**fubyFrery** · 11-27-2009, 05:12 AM

jeez go easy with the accent

edit: i guess you must be from england to understand why the jokes are funny (except for the 1st)

**Xzmwskxn** · 11-27-2009, 05:13 AM

I find the guy to be hilarious personally... but you can only really take him in small doses, mainly because his Mock the Week, Stand-up shows and everything else he is on tend to come from the same bank of jokes... if you see him in multiple different situations you tend to hear the same material.

**myhackingtosh_ws** · 11-27-2009, 05:34 AM

2nd one was hilarious, the rest... [yawn]

**carlsberg21** · 11-27-2009, 05:45 AM

hes not funny[thumbdown]

He is. You're completely wrong.

**cafeviahe** · 11-27-2009, 05:58 AM

I didn't find it offended at all, who does lol? However, he wasn't funny either..

**LorencoLoricelli** · 11-27-2009, 06:05 AM

Number 1 I didn't like, for the rest the guy's real funny

**Vomephems** · 11-27-2009, 06:09 AM

He's probably someone who's going to appeal to Brit's more because his jokes are often based around topic British affairs because of the show he's on. His stand up act's are good though too.

**movlabs** · 11-27-2009, 10:31 AM

I saw him life at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival 2 years ago, was in hysterics the whole time! In all fairness this isn't a very good clip of him IMO. Plus any people from outside of the UK are likely to not find it too funny or not get it as he makes a lot of very British/Scottish related comments.

**fluistulkn** · 11-27-2009, 11:27 AM

He is. You're completely wrong.

no hes not

**gyjsdtuwr** · 11-27-2009, 04:25 PM

You do know he's scottish right?

**eduptultyt** · 11-27-2009, 06:31 PM

no hes not

What's a hes?

**statistica** · 11-27-2009, 07:59 PM

I think he is well funny [rofl] The Richard Hammond joke was really below the belt though...still funny [rofl]

**UMATURLIN** · 11-27-2009, 08:47 PM

I saw him live last year.
If you've seen him on TV and think his humour is dark - you've not seen anything.
Live he goes even darker, even further.
Some of his stuff is extremely close tot he knuckle.

However well worth seeing live.

**j2Y6Ysmb** · 11-27-2009, 09:04 PM

No not guilty, Frankie Boyle is a hero!

Anyone see the Jimmy Carr joke recently?

"Say what you like about those servicemen amputees from Iraq and Afghanistan, but we're going to have a ****ing good Paralympic team in 2012."

Didn't go down to well with a lot of people but if you don't offend anyone then that's half of comedy out of the window right there.
